Marilyn,
I especially liked what you said about Spellcheck. I see it all the time; too many people rely on their computer to tell them when a word is spelled incorrectly. Too, to, two - they're all the same to Spellcheck.

Great observations, as always.

It would help if I wrote New Writers' Mistakea. I really do know where and how to punctuate.

Thanks for saying what needs to be said. Formatting is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Well, I was a Meredith before I married but I guess that doesn't mean we're related! Fun post!

Your novel sounds intriguing, definitely on my list. Good to "meet" you, Johnny.

Thank you Judith, it was a lot of fun writing and truly captures what I call the romantic thriller genre.
I think Marilyn has a great blog and really appreciate everything she has done for me.

Hi Johnny and Marilyn! Great post. Her Honor's Bodyguard sounds like a book I need to read.

Great interview, and fascinating answers and questions. I'm not sure I have favorites. Just love to read.

Yes. Madeline

Yes.

@ Marilyn. Glad you got lots of traffic. Probably should have entered folk into a drawing to win an ebook if they left a comment.
@ Dawn and Lee-Ann. Thanks so much for your kind words! They're much appreciated.

Great interview, Ann. I do love your series and the way real life and paranormal worlds collide.

Great stuff, Ann. Congratulations on your books.

It was so nice to have you visiting today, Ann. You had lots of folks stopping by to read your post--too bad they don't all comment.

2012-05-26T10:23:59.045-07:00

@ Clare. Thanks for leaving a comment. There's been a real explosion in the urban/contemporary fantasy genre in recent years. I think there are far better choices than there used to be in that genre.

Nice interview! My favorites tend to fall in the high/epic fantasy categories, but I find myself reading more urban/contemporary fantasy lately.

@ Catherine. Thanks for your comment. I've always loved Wuthering Heights. I'll be trekking through the northern part of England in a month or so and am really excited to finally see the moorlands.

Great interview and I agree with your views on fantasy, Ann. It does feel so much more real when extraordinary things happen to ordinary people. As for books that stay in my mind, there are many. 'Wuthering Heights' is one. There it is the brooding atmosphere matched by the dark and Gothic story of Heathcliff and Catherine. Too many others to list here but, for me, it is usually atmosphere, strong characters and a plot that is intricate and unexpected and ultimately delivers a twist I wasn't expecting

Thanks so much for hosting me today, Marilyn!

Marni,I love your use of words. You put a great deal of description into your writing making it easy to feel like you are there in the scene itself.

Oh, this sounds right up my alley! I adore all things English as well and I like the idea that you will be moving your main character at some point so I will be able to travel vicariously through her. The whole series sounds fascinating and I can't wait to get reading! thanks for sharing this with us, I love learning about new authors and great books!

Cute cover. I've come to the conclusion not everyone can be an overnight success, but it's fun and sometimes aggravating to keep trying anyhow!
